Horses and Seeking the Lord

Hi there.  In this pic we are trying out our winter legs. Our horses are pretty skittish in the winter.  They love the cooler temps and want to play around-- not the safest thing when you are trying to ride them.  It doesn't help that they haven't been ridden in a few months!

Here we are making our way into the crusty snow.   The other horses are about 20 meters away so she's being pretty good.  The compost pile has caught her attention.

You would wonder how I have time to seek the Lord, go riding and still get everything done that I need to do.  It's amazing, but somehow the Lord gives back the time.   He helps me prioritize my day, tells me when to call people, when to do things and I get so much accomplished!  It's a new miracle every day.

Here is one last pic of us getting ready to ride.  I am checking out her attitude and stress level to hopefully ascertain if it's safe to ride on the driveway.  Winter riding with all the icy conditions is always interesting. The riding ring and round pen where I would usually ride are in deep snow.   I don't want to go without  angelic protection-- that's for sure!

Thanks for reading.  I am working on some video clips from church footage that will encourage you.  Check out my youtube channel "beloved4evr" especially during the winter (less work on the farm equals more time for video clip making). 

Bless you!

Follow Up to Three Days at the Mall

Initial table set up without candy dish & candies

Hello Saints.  I was just looking at the notes I made about the people that came to my table and the ones I visited in the mall. Saturday was the busiest by far. Whole families were stopping by my table.  It was amazing how God gave me words and/or pictures for all of them.  I figure about 100 people got words over the 3 sessions I was there.  Over thirty people got given the gospel message via the million dollar bill tract I was giving out and 5 people told me thanks for coming out and helping the people.  I saw about 10 people's jaws drop, stunned by what God gave me for them. Many other people confirmed the words I gave them.   Many wanted to know if all Christians could do this.  I replied to all of them, "All Christians can hear God's voice."

It was a really good investment in the community.  I was surprised to find out that over half the people that came to me had no idea that they could go to a charismatic church and get a word there from the Pastor or other ministry helper.  That is sad. We all need to get the word out about prophesy in the church being real and available today.

I heard myself telling some of the people, "You think I'm good.  You should see how detailed some of the other prophets are!" 

Many times I didn't have anything till the people asked me for a word.  Sometimes God would give me something as they asked, and sometimes it was like I saw the blockage in their lives that was hindering them from their destiny.   I wish I had had more time to process it all and figure out how to respond. All I could do was give them what the Lord gave me.  The Lord helped me with each person.  I was amazed at how the approach and delivery would change from person to person.  Truly, God was helping me.

I was really encouraged to hear Pastor Jim saying he wished he could have been out there with me.  Then Pastor Mark was saying how he'd like to see whole teams going out to do this, in the Sunday service!  That would be so awesome!  Then when one gets discouraged, the other can encourage them.

Anyhow,  that's my recap.  I am still praying for the people I spoke over.  Turns out that one of the ladies God gave me a word for is the wife of the fellow I used to work with.  How amazing is that?  God's so good!

Anyhow, let's pray. "I declare that you are blessed and highly favored.  The Lord's Spirit is mighty in prophesy and the Lord's spirit is working mightily in you!   Have a great day asking the Lord what to pray for people around you.  (That's how I started growing in the word of knowledge). Amen!"
